Provider-specific findings
Relief research for this provider
The notes below may document a route, rule, or explicit public-information limit. General preparation steps are not represented as utility policy.
- Emergency reporting route
- For leaks and repairs during office operations, call 817-645-0946. For water and wastewater emergencies after business hours, on weekends, or holidays, call 817-645-0972. Utility Billing is 817-645-0919 during Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; the City’s water and wastewater crews maintain a 24-hour standby status.
- Leak-adjustment policy
- The reviewed Cleburne utility pages do not publish a dedicated high-bill leak-forgiveness form, eligibility formula, repair-receipt rule, cap, or billing-period deadline. A customer with abnormal consumption should immediately check the meter, stop or repair the private-side leak, retain plumber invoices and photographs, compare the My Water Advisor usage history, and ask Utility Billing at 817-645-0919 whether an account adjustment is available. Utility-side leaks and repairs should be reported to 817-645-0946 or 817-645-0972 after hours; no sewer-only credit formula is publicly stated.
- Utility assistance program
- Cleburne’s public Utility Billing pages do not identify a recurring municipal senior, disabled-veteran, or income-qualified water credit, nor a fixed local assistance cap. The City has separate housing-assistance and community-service functions, but the reviewed utility material does not state that those programs automatically credit a water account. Customers facing a cutoff should contact Utility Billing before the disconnection date and ask about any current payment arrangement or referral options.
- State and federal aid connection
- No automatic LIHWAP/LIHEAP credit or federal water-assistance workflow is documented on the reviewed Cleburne utility pages. Residents needing hardship support should contact 2-1-1 Texas, Johnson County/community-action agencies, or the City’s housing-assistance resources, provide the current bill and disconnection notice, and notify Utility Billing that an application is pending. Eligibility, funding caps, and whether an agency payment prevents cutoff are controlled by the administering program.
